Chapter 14
~Flashback ends~
"So you finally remember huh? So you finally remember who I am?" Heer asks with a gist of angery sarcasm.
"You are my Nerd Girl. But why? Why are you like this? What happened?" I ask, inquiring about what happened before which resulted in Heer like this. She used to be perfect before. Then what happened now?
"Come on Prem! Don't act as if you don't know anything. You are the one that did everything. You are the reason I changed." Heer says, annoyed while I just look on, more confused. "Fine then! You want to listen to the whole story don't you? Then here it is."
Heer takes a deep breath and starts off with her storyline. "It was midnight, and you were completely drunk Prem. You suddenly knocked on my cottage door. It was raining outside, everyone was inside."
~Flashback~
Heer's Point Of View
As I came out of the washroom, wiping my eyes with my soft hand towel, I keep going back to the time when Prem's ex-girlfriend Ria had hugged him. I don't know why I was feeling uncomfortable, but I just was. It was not as if I was anyone special to Prem or he was anything special to me, then why? Why did I feel so uncomfortable and sad when I saw him with someone else? Why did it hurt me to see him with someone else? Was it jealousy? No...ofcourse not! Why would I be jealous? It was not as if I was his girlfriend or something. It was not as if I loved him...or did I? I wonder to myself, confused at the confusement of my own words. Suddenly I hear the cottage door bell ring and I walk up to open the door. As I opened the door, I could see Prem standing there. He was drunk. I could just feel it. His eyes were begging to be closed while he fought to keep them open. He was all wet from the rain. I just stare at him, shocked and confused at the same time.
"Prem? What are you doing here, and at this hour?" I ask, not expecting any answer in return.
"Heer..." Prem says, his eyes wet and his voice as if he had been drinking more then usual.
"Haan Prem?" I ask, one more time.
This time, without giving me any answer, or saying anything at all, Prem forcibly enters my cottage and keeps walking towards me, while I start to take little steps back, afraid about what he would or was trying to do.
"Prem..." I ask, inquiring if he had any idea as to what he was doing.
"Heer..."
"Haan Prem...ye tum kya kar rahe ho?" I ask, he deeps large steps towards me, his eyes wide open, and wet.
"Do you love me Heer?" he asks, out of the blue.
"What?" I ask. And while he walks towards me, and I walk away from him, I don't know when he pushes me against the drawing room wall, gripping me hands against the wall...tight. I struggle to get free from his grip, only to end up staring at his beautiful greek god face. "Prem, let me go...please Prem!" I plead.
"Do you love me Heer?" he asks again, but this time a little more angrily, and a little more passion.
"Prem, let me go! You are hurting me!" I say, trying to losen his grip on me. But instead of my words having any impact on him, I just end up making him grip my wrists tighter.
"Just answer my question dammit! Do you love me?" he asks.
"Huh?" I ask, trying to ignore his question.
"Just answer! NOW!" he shouts.
"YES! YES! YES! I love you!" I yell back. Tired and annoyed.
Prem smiles. "I love you too Heer." he says. Those 3 magical words. We both gaze into each other's eyes. Just staring and referring back to the 3 magical words that we both said to each other. After a while, we suddenly take our eyes off each other and both blush. "Heer, jaanti ho, jab maine tumhe Sameer ke saath dekha tha, toh phir mujhe pata nahin kya hua, lekin I felt bad seeing you with him. It just stung me." he says, as if making a long lost confession. I smile, and give him a tight hug. He smiles at me and I know it is my time to make a confession.
"Do you know Prem, that when Ria came and hugged you, I just felt like killing her. I don't like to see you with any other girl Prem." I say, and we both start to giggle. Sometimes staring at each other and then moving our eyes away from each other at times, blushing.
"I really love you Heer." Prem says, while giving me a tight hug.
"I love you too Prem." I reply back, returning to same hug.
After we are done, we both stare into each other's eyes, and I don't when it happens, but slowly, Prem starts to come close to me. More closer then he already was. His lips moving towards mine. I slowly close my eyes shut. Prem's soft lips press hard against mine. We both give ourselves in to that kiss. After that, Prem lifts me up in his two hands and walks me towards my room. He lays me on the bedroom, and slowly starts to unbutton my shirt. My heart pulse starts to quicken up, and I slowly move to the side, and turn the lamps down.
* * *
The next more, I sigh as I see Prem sleeping on his bare back. He looked like an angel in disguise. My angel. I move closer to him, and kiss him on the forehead. Prem opens his eyes slighty and smiles at me. I smile back. The moment of my life that I spent with him, were the best moments of my life. They were just pure golden moments. Something every girl dreamt of.

Goa was just a blast. After that night that Prem and I spent together, we both started to spend every minute that we got together. We went down to the beach together. Went out for late night drives. It was just pure fun. Prem introduced me to his friends and they accepted with with open hearts. As time went on, we came back to Mumbai, where Prem and I continued to move into each other's lives. Prem introduced me to his lifestyle, parties, friends, sports and even showed me his house, while I introuduced him to mine. Library, Mandir, and the orphange that I helped out in. It was just amazing that even though we both were different in many ways, how well we fit in together. How well we interacted with each other.
